PART 2—

(Hermione's pov)

Mom, I have to go to Diagon alley to get my hogwarts things... you say... Sure honey, write to Harry and Ron and see when they are going? Then tell me and we can go then. Your mother said ok mom, ill go and write right now... you said quickly as you climbed up the stairs and plopped yourself onto your bed. You leaned over the side of your bed and slid out a very large trunk. You opened it and took out some parchment and your quill. I need to remember to restock my potions things and get a new quill you thought as you started your letter to Harry.

Dear Harry,

How are you? I hope the muggles treated you well. I can't believe we are starting our seventh year! It's so exciting, oh yes and did I tell you, I'm head girl, Wonderful for me at least. Heard you are at Ron's for the summer. Do hope you are having fun. My mother says that I could go to Diagon alley when you and Ron are going. Write back to me and tell me…Ok? Oh yes and could you also give Ginny my hello, and a big hug from me. Can't wait to see you all! (Which will hopefully be soon...)

With love,

Hermione

PS- how are Fred and George doing in their business? Maybe we could visit their shop in Diagon alley?

You read it over and make sure its perfect. Then you get your owl (willow) and send her to the burrow. Then you remember—you forgot to feed crookshanks. Here crookshanks…come here You say slowly then you see her, slowly skipping towards you looking very proud of herself. As she comes closer you see a dead mouse dangling from her mouse. Good crookshanks! Did you catch that all by yourself? You say and she meows affectionately while rubbing her head up and down your Arm.

(The burrow)

Look Ron, there's willow, Hermione's owl. I wonder what she wants? Harry says to Ron. Ya, lets read it mate Ron says while letting willow in. Ron reads out loud...

Dear Harry,

Hmmm...I'll go ask mum when we can go to Diagon alley and then you can write her back. Ron says while running down the stairs MUM!!! He yells as Harry goes o Ginny's room to give her that hug from hermione.

What honey, and stop yelling! Mrs. weasley says to Ron. Oh sorry, hermione just wrote to us and she wants to know when we are going to Diagon alley; she wants to meet us there. Ron says softly. Oh...well we can go tomorrow if you like then. Write to her and find out so we can get ready. Mrs. weasley says as Ron bolts up the stairs.

Mum says we can go tomorrow Harry, you can write to hermione now. Ron says huffing ok... Harry replies while taking out his quill and some parchment.

Dear hermione,

I'm doing fine, the Dursleys are all right, but you know how they are, hope you are well. Things at the burrow are great! Oh yes, and Mrs. weasley says that we can go to Diagon alley tomorrow if you like, write back and tell us if its ok! Then maybe you can spend the rest of the summer with us here at Ron's. Do ask your parents...hope to see you soon!

Love,

Harry

Is that ok? Harry asks Ron while showing him the letter...yes, that's good Ron says while tying the letter to willows foot and sending her back to Hermione's.

(At Hermione's)

Oh willow! They wrote back already. You said to yourself--geez that was quick--you thought. You read the letter to yourself tomorrow, hmmm. Ill ask mom. Mom! Ron and Harry say we can go tomorrow, is that ok? You ask her apprehensively. Yes honey, we can go tomorrow. Go write to Harry and tell him. She says oh also, is it ok if I spend the rest of the summer at the burrow, Harry offered? You asked your mother. Ummm, sure I guess that will be ok. She said back to you. Oh thank you! You say as you hug her. You run up the stairs and quickly write back saying that you could go tomorrow and you would see them at the burrow.

The rest of the day you spent your time by making a list of the things you needed at Diagon alley.

THINGS I NEED AT DIAGON ALLEY

New robes (mine are about 2 inches too short)

A new quill

New potions ingredients

More food for willow (I don't need any for crookshanks—she can get her own food)

More money out of my vault

(At Diagon alley)

You meet Ron and Harry and you get all of your things. First you go to Gringotts and get money out of your vault, then Harry's and Ron's, then you made your way to Madame malkins to get new robes (Ron needed some too, he grew a good 3 inches over the summer) then you got your potions, your books (you took the longest, you are taking more classes after all) and finally you got your food for willow at the pet shop. After all of this you stopped by Fred and George's place. It was swarmed with people. You could tell their place was a real hit. You didn't get to talk with them although they did wave as you were leaving Then you finally took a break and went to Florean Fortesque's ice cream parlor for a bite to eat.

We got enough books this year huh mate? Ron says while dropping his books on the floor of the parlor. Hey, stop that, you might damage them. You did just get them you know. But think we do have our NEWTS this year, so you can only expect a lot of things. You say as you carefully place your bulging bag of books down on the ice cream parlor's floor. And of course a smarty pants like you are taking all the subjects. The drawling voice of Draco Malfoy comes from behind hello potter, weasley, mud- (he stopped himself)-granger …--did he just fail to call me a mudblood...-- you thought buzz off Malfoy Harry says while standing up. Stop Harry, he's not worth It. you say while pulling him back down. I wonder why he stopped himself… see you at school, he said while he walked away.

(Draco's POV)

Why did I stop myself, I don't like her... I mean I can't like her, could I? But if I do I just totally made it obvious

(End of Draco's POV)

I wonder why he didn't call you a mudblood? Ron wondered out loud. Yeah, that was odd…don't you think hermione? Harry added. Yes, maybe he's finally softening up... you said still thinking about what had happened just then. Harry and Ron burst into laughter making the whole parlor look at you. Shhhhhh…! You huffed at them making them silence their giggles immediately. Sorry laugh but laugh Malfoy, softening up! Ron stutters in between laughs. Come on lets go back to the leaky cauldron you say while quickly grabbing your stuff and walking out the door.

ok that's is you guys…please review!!!
